Izu / Chubu diving suits Tokyo-based schedules: overnight bus or train, dive, return.

Open JPFun Scuba · Izu / Chubu, shortlist shops that match your cert and last-dive date.

Day 0 — Travel south

• Arrive before shop briefing; confirm entry points and parking.
• Pack reef-safe sunscreen and a warm layer for boat wind.

Day 1 — Dive day

• Shore circuits or a short local boat — follow the shop’s site call.
• Two tanks is a solid weekend goal; do not stack night dives unless planned.

Day 2 — Buffer

• Optional easy second dive or scenic drive back.
• Fly-international rules matter less here, but still rest if you feel drained.

Route rule

Izu is not a substitute for Kerama visibility dreams — pick Okinawa when water clarity is the whole point.

Who This Suits

Best for certified divers based in Tokyo who want a low-hassle weekend: short travel, shore or short-boat sites, no flight stress. Good for stacking bottom time between bigger trips, or testing gear before a longer Okinawa run.

Quick tips

• Check tide and surge reports before shore entries — conditions shift fast on exposed coastlines.
• Pack a spare mask strap and O-ring kit; small parts are easy to forget on a quick weekend trip.
• Confirm your shop's minimum group size — some Izu operators need a few bookings before the boat runs.
